- Assist in drafting and closing transaction documents (SHA, SSA, SPA).
- 3. Litigation & Dispute Resolution
- Manage the company’s litigation portfolio, including consumer cases, labor disputes, and commercial arbitration.
- Liaise with external counsels to draft notices, petitions, and evidence.
- Develop strategies to mitigate legal risks and settle disputes efficiently to avoid business disruption.
- 4. Compliance & Regulatory Oversight
- Drive a culture of 100% compliance across all warehouses and retail outlets.
- Ensure adherence to E-commerce guidelines, Legal Metrology, Labor laws, and Data Privacy norms.
- Conduct periodic internal audits to identify and fix compliance gaps.

- Advise Central Functions (HR, Marketing, Product) on legal risks associated with new campaigns or product features.
The Ideal Candidate
- Education: LL.B. or LL.M. from a top-tier law school.
- Experience: 5–8 years of post-qualification experience (PQE). A mix of top-tier law firm training and in-house experience (start-up/D2C/Retail) is highly preferred.
- Technical Skills: Deep understanding of the Companies Act, Contract Act, IPR laws, and Real Estate regulations.
- Soft Skills:
- Negotiation: Ability to hold your own in a room with seasoned partners.
- Agility: Comfortable with ambiguity and shifting priorities in a high-growth environment.
- Communication: Can translate complex "legalese" into actionable advice for non-legal stakeholders.
Why Purplle?

- Growth: Exposure to high-level corporate strategy and complex fundraising cycles.
